TAKOMA PARK  John Mappas reached two coaching milestones in one game Saturday night as the Chesapeake College men’s basketball team cruised to a 99-77 win over host Montgomery College/Takoma Park.

The win gave Mappas his 100th victory at Chesapeake and the 200th win of his college coaching career. Chesapeake (13-2 overall, 5-2 Maryland JuCo) also kept Mappas on pace for the seventh 20-win season of his illustrious coaching career.

True to form, Mappas downplayed the accomplishment.

"It just means longevity," shrugged Mappas. "I’ve been here (Chesapeake) for six seasons. You ought to be able to win 100 in six years."

Mappas has a 100-60 record at Chesapeake. He had a 100-23 record in four years at Charles County Community College during the mid-1980s for an overall collegiate record of 200-83. That record doesn’t include more than two decades as a successful high school coach at five schools in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference.

The milestone was never in doubt after the Skipjacks rolled to a 56-33 halftime lead, paced by Preston Faulk’s 23 first-half points. Faulk finished with 25 points to lead the Skipjacks, who have averaged 50.3 first-half points over the last four games  all Chesapeake wins.

Faulk hit seven first-half 3-pointers before being limited to two second-half points.

"His arm fell off, so he couldn’t shoot in the second half," deadpanned Mappas.

The Skipjacks complete a four-game road trip by playing Monday at Howard Community College (6-6, 2-3) at 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday at Hagerstown Community College (11-4, 6-2) at 6 p.m. They return home to face Community College of Baltimore County-Dundalk Friday at 7 p.m.
